In order to improve the precision of the laser–radio-frequency (RF) synchronization system from sub-picosecond to femtosecond (fs), a synchronization system between a picosecond laser and a 1.3 GHz RF generator has been developed based on a fiber-loop optical-microwave phase detector (FLOM-PD). Synchronization with fs-level (3.8 fs) rms jitter, integrated from 10 Hz to 1 MHz, is achieved for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, in this kind of configuration. This system will be used for
